My Dad has all the luck...........

He stops off at some random yard sale on the way down to my grandmothers 90th birthday party and talks to the salees neighbor. Next thing I know he's calling says he bought a couple of Cap & ball pistols 36&44 Navy's and a auto ............shotgun,some oak 1x,a tire machine,and needs a hand to go get them. Ok sure I'll go.

On our way to Independence Ca he says I think your Mom will like shooting that A5. Wait what A5?oh the auto that came w/the pistols. So we load up the yard sale treasures and go next door for the guns. The guy hands us a hard case we flip it open sure enough 2 pistols and a Humpback Browning. Back safe in Nevada we get it out. Its a Belgian 3" magnum. I'd be mad at him except i'm an only child and he didn't even hesitate at $250 when the guy gave him 2 cases of shells to go w/it.

They are but a few compared to the rest of society.

Would you rather be goverened by dumb luck than street smarts?

[Harter66]

As far as governors go there are a bunch out there that must be super dumb lucky,or so dumb they're lucky to have lived long enough to govern.

good deal im happy for you

[Frosty Boolit]

wow.! $250!? I had to check the date on this post to make sure it was'nt from the early 80's.

[Harter66]

I was dumbfounded ................in a good sort of way. There are some things about that would put off a collector ,but they are great since we bought it as a shooter. The action is worn totally to the white outside,the bbl is cut w/ Brilley's installed. I do like the way it soaks up ounce and a half magnums too.

There's 2 boxes of 1 7/8 oz #4s and 3 ea of 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 4,5,6s. 1 box of 3" 20ga 5s. No idea what to do w/ all those pre -steel duck and goose loads. We do have a healthy Blue/Roughed grouse population and a season for sage hen, 3 to 10 lbs on the wing.
